The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee also has more money in the bank, with $25 million in cash on hand. That’s about $3 million more than the National Republican Senatorial Committee has in its war chest. Neither committee has any debt.

So far this cycle, Democrats have raked in $80.4 million—about $20 million more than Republicans’ haul.

April’s numbers show the NRSC gaining ground on its Democratic counterpart. Democrats’ cash-on-hand advantage has halved since March 31, when they had $6 million in the bank. The committee’s haul in previous months had also more significantly outpaced Republicans’ fundraising.

Republicans are seeking to win a majority in the Senate this November and are targeting a number of Democratic incumbents in states that President Barack Obama lost in 2012. Republicans need a net gain of six seats to reclaim the chamber.
